Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the use of the HEX card in MCNP input files, specifically focusing on how to define and implement macrobodies within the MCNP framework. Participants explore the technical aspects of input file creation and seek clarification on the fill card format.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Homework-related, Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses confusion regarding the definition and usage of the HEX card in MCNP input.
  • Another participant provides a link to a primer on MCNP that includes information on using macrobodies, suggesting that the RCC example may be relevant.
  • A participant thanks the second contributor for the resources but encounters confusion while writing the input file, particularly with the fill card format, questioning whether to use a matrix or rows.
  • One reply suggests searching for examples to see how others have approached similar issues without providing a definitive answer.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion does not reach a consensus, as participants express varying levels of understanding and confusion regarding the HEX card and fill card formats.

Contextual Notes

How to use HEX card in MCNP input, i couldn't figure out its definition?
 
Technology news on Phys.org
Here's a primer on using MCNP:

Search for HEX (RHP) and a topic comes up that explains how to use macrobodies in general using RCC as an example.

And here's some tutorials that may help:

thanks so much, it was helping, now I'm trying to write the input file and I counter something with the fill card, I tried to write it as matrix but I got confused should it be better to write it as rows ?
 
I can't say for sure try searching for some examples to see what others have done.
